SIRENIA Arcane Astral Aeons

It´s been a while since I last listened to Sirenia, or any other female fronted sympho/goth bands to be honest. I was a fan of the genre years ago, but it came to a point were too many bands sounded more or less the same and then I lost intrest in the genre. Sirenia has existed since the beginning of the new millenium and their name has always been synonymous with quality. Multiinstrumentalist and composer is the only one left from the original line-up. The main female vocals is once again being taken care of by the very talented Emmanuelle Zoldan, who made her Sirenia debut with their 2016 album ´Dim Days Of Dolor´. She has a wide vocal range reaching from hard rock to opera and her voice suits this material just perfect in combination with Velands additional clean and harsh vocals. The song material is quiet varied spanning from goth, via power metal to symphonic metal and all songs are premium quality and comes with an excellent production taken care of by Jacob Hansen. I´m sure fans of atmospheric and symphonic metal will appreciate ´Arcane Astral Aeons´, it´s actually one of the better albums I´ve heard within this genre for years.

Two years after Dim Days Of Dolor mastermind Morten Veland presents the ninth Sirenia album: Arcane Astral Aeons once more reflects the Norwegian`s love for title alliterations and succeeds in infusing the darkest night with the brightest colors. Who could resist a symphonic, unbridled opener like ‘In Styx Embrace‘?
Singer Emmanuelle Zoldan`s ethereal mezzo-soprano voice connects all 11 varied and spirited compositions: the insanely melodic ‘Into The Night‘ impressively showcases her abilities and flows into the catchy ‘Love Like Cyanide‘ that`s not even afraid to employ a small handful of black metal trademarks. Danish producer legend Jacob Hansen managed to harmonize Sirenia`s more soothing side with edgy metal sounds and delivers a perfectly balanced wild ride. The most compelling release so far courtesy of Morten Veland!
